40th Anniversary 18/11/76: Do You Feel Like We Do

This post was updated on .

18/11/76
Another week and another wiped show, Popscene shows only 2 performances left, although if the listing is correct it's quite possible that 4 of the missing performances are still out there as they are listed as 'video'. The Legs routine from this week has mostly survived with 69 seconds being found on a dancers tape.

SUMMARY: Would have been even nicer if the whole routine had been on the tape.
CHAMPAGNE: The close up on Gill.
SPOTTED: About 30 seconds in Pauline can be seen running off stage apparently to perform a solo in the missing part of the dance. I wonder if the director was supposed to stop the camera seeing her depart.

Comments for the following please
SUMMARY: One line comment.
CHAMPAGNE: Favorite moment from the routine.
SPOTTED: See anything unusual in either routine?

SUMMARY: (Sarcasm alert). Ooh look. They are dancing separately from each other surrounded by the audience who are kneeling down, so this cant be considered a proper dance routine either, according to some of the intelligentsia

CHAMPAGNE: I like the bit with Gill in close-up. In my best Robin Nash voice "shes a lovely looking lady`.

SPOTTED: I totally agree that we were not supposed to see Pauline hurry off.

SPOTTED: I wonder if those stairs on the right came into the performance at all

One other question if I might. How long was the single version of this song and can anyone say which part of the total Dance we might therefore have? I know the Producers sometimes cut and pasted versions but perhaps someone has an idea. Sorry if this has been answered before but I can't recall or find it if it has.

Some Dancers who gave a good time, broke all the rules, played all the fools, yeah yeah yeah they blew our minds

Summary: As we only have just over half the routine available there was rather more choreography to come than one gets with the birds! Missing is the group interaction in the central space, as well as solo moments for Pauline on the small yellow topped stage.

SUMMARY: It's nice that we have this surviving footage however I suspect that the best parts of this routine are still missing.
CHAMPAGNE: Probably would have been Pauline's solo but sadly the champers will have to stay on ice.
SPOTTED: I think Pauline has admitted previously on this site that her being spotted running off the stage was most likely due to an error on her part rather than a fault with the camera direction. She may just be being magnanimous however.

SUMMARY: Good song and routine. Single should have gone higher. Not sure if it was marred by the length of the song. Radio still tended not to play lengthy tunes until Simon Bates came along in 1977 onwards and started playing 12" singles after 10.30pm.

CHAMPAGNE: Gill's lovely hair and smile. She seemed to glow in this.

SPOTTED: Not sure about the audience. Always wonder what they were thinking. I sure wanted to be in that crowd that night.
